No matter what goes wrong ----- more trade barriers (especially China-bashing) is always the right response. Who invaded whom this week? What's the latest DISASTER? So then, all trading is bad for the world, if there are any supply chains? It's not that there's never any decoupling, or that...

Who invaded whom this week? What's the latest DISASTER? What excuse can we find today to impose more trade sanctions/obstacles? It did not decouple very much. And the little decoupling that happened was mostly unnecessary. This had virtually no measurable effect on the economy, though every...

"Dumping" = good for all consumers "Dumping" is a purely subjective crybaby impulsive term to condemn the more competitive producer. There is no scientific method to prove that "dumping" happens, other than just a very low price which a less competitive producer cannot offer. It is a normal...

Bottom Line: protect the uncompetitive crybabies (especially crybaby steel workers and auto workers). translation: it never matters if consumers benefit. All that matters is protecting uncompetitive crybaby companies and their crybaby wage-earners, so they don't have to compete, don't have to...

When did cheap imports (from China or anywhere) ever hurt the economy? Can't give one example from real history? Only paranoia about what might happen? only hypotheticals? That's the problem with China-bashing arguments. They're not based on facts, but only on paranoid hypotheticals -- What...

Because we're doing lots of business with them and we're much better off because of it. Our standard of living is higher because of this business. Whereas the xenophobia you're preaching has done nothing to make us better off. translation: Everyone build your own car, build your own house, grow...

So, no one can give a reason why it's bad for China to produce solar panels and electric vehicles. The President sent his trade representative to China to demand that they stop producing these. While he also preaches the need for more of this technology to reduce greenhouse emissions. Can't...

Biden's obscene appeal to China to stop producing clean energy technology. Is this really happening? Is Biden really condemning China for producing solar panels and electric vehicles? Marketplace, NPR, 4/5/24: -- "excess capacity" of what? excess electric vehicles? excess solar panels? excess...

OK it's not a "BAN" but just forcing them to divest. We needn't get hung up on the technical jargon jibber-jabber. Why should any "Social Media" company ever be forced to "divest" regardless who the owner might be? What's the worst possible owner of a "Social Media" company -- the Neo-Nazis...

It's appropriate to compare this to WW2 --- though on a much smaller scale, the solution is essentially the same. As a threat to Israel Hamas is as much needing to be totally destroyed as the German and Japanese regimes needed to be destroyed in order to remove them as a future threat. The...

Stop pretending that Hamas has any Right to demand anything. So the U.S. and allies in WW2 inflicted "collective punishment" onto Germany and Japan, in the '44-'45 years when they butchered millions of Germans and Japanese civilians. They could have yielded sooner and done a "cease-fire" to...

Real Source of the China Hate (continued from previous Wall of Text) Of course we are, and it's not altogether wrong to see China as a "bad guy" (in terms of the military threat). It's the paranoia and scapegoating that's wrong, from both Biden and Trump, which they're feeding to the mindless...

translation: It's best for those refugees to starve.

Why not have sanctuary camps on the Gaza beach? What prevents the U.S. and other countries from delivering aid to the refugees on the beach? Jordan dropped aid there: Surely there are no Hamas tunnels there, under the sand? Why couldn't the refugees be camped there and receive regular aid...

Evacuation? or Let the slaughter resume! ??? I.e., all Jews living in Palestine-Israel are there illegally. No, this is just another way of saying "Let the slaughter resume!" It's better to address the immediate practical challenge, or crisis, of saving Palestinians from getting...

Why not Evacuation? Maybe. As long as this doesn't displace someone already there or already moving in there. Any location where they don't displace someone else. For a large number, there'd have to be more than only one location. It might have to be currently unoccupied space, in camps. It has...

Ashkelon is too close. Hamas already attacked there. Hamas has to be destroyed first. Or, rather, maybe a few thousand could be evacuated there, if it's likely Hamas wouldn't attack there again. But even so, the real number of evacuees would probably be too many, so other destinations are also...

There are 2 kinds of environmental activists: 1) Higher Carbon Tax the good environmentalists: Put the "blame" properly on all consumers of energy and make them pay the appropriate tax, to compensate for the environmental damage 2) Punish Producers, scapegoat corporations the bad...

Why not Evacuation? Here's one inconvenient fact being denied: that Palestinians could be evacuated. They can be very easily. To demand a "Cease-Fire" is unnecessary. Just send boats to the shore (E. Mediterranean) of Gaza and take all refugees away who want to leave. The lie is that there's...
